The storm dropped snow from the Gulf Coast to New England and was the second-biggest in New York City history, with 26.8 inches measured in Central Park by midnight Saturday — just shy of the record 26.9 inches set in 2006, the National Weather Service said.

Worst-hit was the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, with 42 inches recorded at Glengarry and 40.5 inches in Shepherdstown.

In many areas, temperatures rose above freezing Sunday — melting some snow but creating a new hazard: black ice.

Many roads were suffering from severe choke points where snow piles are blocking traffic lanes.

In Pennsylvania, an 8-months pregnant teen was among those who died shoveling snow over the weekend, her family said, while a man who tried to dig out his car in Muhlenberg Township was buried by a snowplow.
